520 1 "With an entertaining text and star-studded photographs,
this expanded and updated edition is the only official
history of the Academy Awards, presenting the story of the
Oscar from its banquet beginnings at the Hollywood
Roosevelt Hotel to the 80th awards ceremony, held at the 3,
401-seat Kodak Theatre. Combining Hollywood insider Robert
Osborne's cogent observations and the Academy's
exceptional historical and photographic archives, this
book is unrivaled in illustration, accuracy, and
completeness." "80 Years of the Oscar opens with a history
of the founding of the Academy, detailing the
organization's aims and covering the background of the
establishment of these highly coveted awards. The rest of
the book is divided into decades, with lively overviews
that document trends, track new developments, and capture
the thrills of the film industry's most significant and
popular events." "For each year author Robert Osborne
presents the range of movies in competition and
contemporary reaction to and from the winners, describing
memorable moments of the evening's events. Each chapter
concludes with a complete list of nominees in all
categories, plus the winners in each. The annual
illustrations include evocative stills from many of the
winning films, and candid shots of the celebrities in
attendance. Altogether this book is illustrated with more
than 750 photographs, and also includes the original movie
posters for every year's best picture. With illustrations
that are themselves worth an Oscar, this is an
unparalleled reference source for the film buff and
scholar."--Jacket.
